Hoffman, Jean L. Nelson, Doris M. Patton and Alice R. Minnich and a son-in-law, Jeffery A. Wolford. He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Norma J. (Gray) Gottschall; three daughters, Lynn M.

Barrett and her husband Jack of Middletown; six grandchildren, Rhys, Emily and Bryce Wolford, Megan Vassil, Erin and Halle Barrett; a great-grandson, Grayson Wolford; five nephews and four nieces.
